INSIGHTS
ON
MARRIAGE

  

 

Dr. Gary Chapman

Communication is the Path to Building Intimacy.

The English word for intimacy comes from the Latin word intimus, meaning inner. Thus, intimacy involves two people opening their inner selves to each other. It is entering into each other lives emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually. It is connecting at the deepest possible level in every area of life.

Intimacy is fostered by a sense of love and trust. We believe that the other person has our best interests in mind; thus, we can open ourselves up without fear that what we are telling will be used against us.

Open communication is the pathway to building intimacy. There is no way to have an intimate marriage without communication. When do you communicate with your spouse? If you do not have a daily sharing time, chances are, your intimacy is eroding. Ten minutes a day is better than one long conversation once a month. Why not begin today.
